Cycled into Glen Gyle from Stronachlachar then easy slope up to Beinn Ducteach North Top. Before her West and big sister could be tackled there was the wee matter of Cruach to wander over to. Stob nan Eighrach was next, followed the two Maol an Fhithich outcrops. Back down to the awaiting bike in Glen Gyle, which sped me to a desperately needed cold drink and ice cream at the Stronachlachar cafe on what turned out to be the hottest day of the year to date.summitter04/06/2023
